# Give your AI drafter standing SDR instructions

Give the AI drafter a standing brief about who you are and how you sell, saved per campaign — every AI email and booking reply reflects it.

Your AI email drafter does better work when it knows how you actually sell. A new SDR setup instructions field lets you write that brief once, per campaign, so every AI-drafted email and booking reply reflects it.

## What changed

The email drafter's AI configuration now has an SDR setup instructions field on the SDR config tab. This is where you give the AI a standing brief about your sales setup — who you are, what you're selling, how you sell, and anything it should always keep in mind when writing on your behalf.

What you type is saved with the campaign, so it isn't a one-off you have to re-enter. Reopen the campaign and your instructions are hydrated back into the field exactly as you left them, and presets respect them rather than clearing them out.

The drafter now treats these instructions as a first-class input. It prioritizes them when constructing the initial email prompt, and again when building the context for the meeting and booking prompt — so both your opening outreach and your booking replies are shaped by the same brief. The instructions also count as a valid AI-mode drafting content source on their own, which means the AI can work from your standing brief, not only from the inputs you give it on a single email.

## How to use it

1. Open the campaign workflow and go to the email drafter's AI configuration.
2. Open the SDR config tab.
3. In the SDR setup instructions field, write your standing brief: who you are, what you sell, how you sell, and how the AI should represent you.
4. Save the configuration.
5. Reopen the campaign to confirm your instructions are still there — they're hydrated back into the field automatically.
6. Let the AI draft as usual; your instructions now feed both the initial email and the meeting and booking replies.

## Why it matters

Until now, getting the AI to sound like your sales setup meant re-explaining yourself every time you drafted. A standing SDR brief changes that: you describe your setup once, and the AI carries it into every email and every booking reply for that campaign. Because the instructions are saved, hydrated on reopen, and respected by presets, that context doesn't drift or quietly disappear between sessions. The result is more consistent, on-message drafting — outreach that reflects how you actually sell, without you re-typing the same background each time you sit down to write.

## Availability

Available now per campaign, in the email drafter's AI configuration under the SDR config tab.
